AVAILABILITY

Stallions and jacks have a limited availability of 10 outside breedings per cycle (3 months); mares and jennies foal once per cycle. The availability of each horse to produce offspring for the current cycle is noted under their pictures.

BLOODLINES

BROODMARE FAMILIES

BINT HAWA

Bint Hawa and her daughter Raziye were acquired early in the Birkat Ranch breeding program; Bint Hawa herself was from endurance racing lines, and her family's offspring were highly successful in that discipline before the ranch's transition to involvement with TREC. Bint Hawa family horses now compete primarily in that discipline.

ASHRAQAT

The Ashraqat bloodline was a later addition to the Birkat Ranch herd. Ashraqat herself was an American-bred mare with excellent manners and showy movements, a natural fit for English pleasure. Ashraqat-bred horses remain an excellent choice for that discipline.

STALLION LINES

MAIMONIDES

Maimonides BR was the first horse foaled on the ranch, though technically not bred by the Roths - in fact, bred by no-one other than an errant endurance racer better at jumping than his owners thought and an equally amorous mare a few pastures over. Stallions of this line have retained that cheekiness and audacity, as have their foals, as well as the legendary Arabian endurance.
